Steampunk Bride Tag - Scraps of Darkness Tag Exchange

Well, this post is a little late, but . . . .well, it is summer and I haven't stayed on top of my blog posting! In July, I played along with a Tag Exchange at Scraps of Darkness and was paired up with the amazingly talented Karen Zueger-Brownell (aka LostCoastScrapper). Now, I knew Karen was getting married in July, so I wanted to create a wedding-themed tag for her, but I wanted it to suit her 'style' (check out her fabulous blog to see her gorgeous work) - so I created this "Steampunk Bride" Tag using Graphic 45's Steampunk Debutante!

I painted the top with Shimmerz black paint and then did some masking of the gears with molding paste, followed by some Perfect Pearls in Charcoal and Gold. I used fussy cut elements from the Steampunk Debutante papers around the tag, along with some rub-ons (e.g. the bride's wings). I added black lace at the bottom and top and embellished with metal Prima/Tim Holtz embellishments and a Prima mini light bulb.

Welcome to my Scrapbooking (and Crafts) blog! My name is Sarah and
I live in Ontario, Canada. I am a married, working mom to one beautiful little boy, who often (i.e. almost always) is the subject of my layouts! I started scrapbooking several years ago, and was immediately addicted. I absolutely love the creative process of putting together a scrapbook page, tag, or off-the-page project. I love trying different (non-traditional) materials and new techniques - especially mixed media. Although most of my work is layouts or altered items, I love using my scrapbooking supplies for other crafty projects, including canvases, tags, ATCs, home/seasonal decor, etc.
